    Socio-Political Development of Surma Barak Valley from 5 to 13 Century

    Pratidhwani the Echo A Peer-Reviewed International Journal of Humanities & Social Science ISSN: 2278-5264 (Online) 2321-9319 (Print) Impact Factor: 6.28 (Index Copernicus International) Volume-VIII, Issue-I, July 2019, Page No. 207-214 P ublished by Dept. of Bengali, Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam, India Website: http://www.thecho.in Socio-Political Development of Surma Barak Valley from 5th to 13th Century A.D. Mehbubur Rahman Choudhury Ph.D Research Scholar, University of Science & Technology, Meghalaya Dr. Sahab Uddin Ahmed Associate Professor, History, Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam Abstract The Barak Valley of Assam consists of three districts, viz. Cachar, Hailakandi and Karimganj situated between Longitude 92.15” and 93.15” East and Latitude 24.8” and 25.8” North and covering an area of 6,941.2 square Kilometres, this Indian portion of the valley is bounded on the north by the North Cachar Hills District of Assam and the Jaintia Hills District of Meghalaya, on the east by Manipur, on the south by Mizoram and on the west by Tripura and the Sylhet District of Bangladesh. These three districts in Assam, however, together form the Indian part of a Valley, the larger portion of which is now in Bangladesh. The valley was transferred to Assam from Bengal in 1874 and the Bangladesh part was separated by the partition of India in 1947. The social and polity formation processes in the Barak Surma Valley in the Pre-Colonial period were influenced by these geo-graphical, historical and sociological factors. On the one hand, it was an outlying area of the Bengal plains and on the other hand, it was flanked by the hill tribal regions.

    Jatinga: the Ornithologists’ Paradise Abstract the Village Jatinga Is Situated on the Borail Hills Close to Its Highest Peak (Hempantat) Which Is 6,000 Ft

    P: ISSN NO.: 2394-0344 RNI No.UPBIL/2016/67980 VOL-I* ISSUE- VIII* November- 2016 E: ISSN NO.: 2455-0817 Remarking An Analisation Jatinga: The Ornithologists’ Paradise Abstract The village Jatinga is situated on the Borail Hills close to its highest peak (Hempantat) which is 6,000 ft. above the sea level and is surrounded by different ranges of the Borail Hills from all sides except a small gap in one side, i.e., towards south- west from the village end. The mysterious behavior of the birds flying over Jatinga from September to November has made this beautiful tiny place famous all over the world. The phenomenon which has attracted Ornithologists world over is suspected suicide committed by birds. The first mention of this mystery is found in the Wild Life of India (1957) by the British tea planters and Ornithologist E.P.Gee. The Zoological Survey of India visited Jatinga during the monsoon months of 1977 and got wide publicity from leading ornithologists in Europe, U.S.A and Japan. The unusual behavior of the birds seems to occur due to the peculiar weather conditions at Jatinga. Studies also reveal that the flight of water birds to Jatinga may be attributed to heavy rains and floods and submergence of their natural Harun Rashid Laskar habitat in the surrounding areas. Assistant Professor, Keywords: Jatinga, Dima Hasao, Assam, Borail Range, Mystery, Deptt.of Economics, Phenomenon, Birds, Monsoon. Haflong Govt. College, Introduction Haflong, Assam Just 9 Kilometers from Haflong, the district headquarter of Dima Hasao district of Assam, in the east there stands a tiny picturesque village called Jatinga on a spur of the Haflong ridge which itself is an offshoot of the main ridge of the Borail range.

Breathtaking flora and fauna, heritage drawn from the ages and the presence of a large number of diverse groups makes this place a treasure grove. If culture represents the entire gamut of relationships which human beings share with themselves as well as with nature, the built environment, folk life and artistic activity, the north-east is a ‘cultural and biodiversity hotspot’, whose immense potential is beginning to be recognised. There is need for greater awareness and sensitisation here, especially among the young. In this respect, the National Knowledge Commission believes that the task of connecting with the north-east requires a multi-pronged approach, where socio-economic development must accompany multi-cultural understanding.

  • Decline of Hindus and the Rise of Muslims in Assam

    Decline of Hindus and the Rise of Muslims in Assam

    Decline of Hindus and the Rise of Muslims in Assam In view of the special attention that is focused now on Assam because of the ongoing assembly elections, we are once again deviating from the proper sequence to discuss the religious demography of Assam in this note. In the normal course, after describing the unusually high growth in the intensely Muslim pocket of Mewat in Haryana, we should have taken up the much larger pocket of high Muslim presence and growth in western Uttar Pradesh, which borders on Haryana and Delhi. Instead we shall discuss Assam and West Bengal in this and the next note and return to Western UP and other pockets of high Muslim presence and growth later. The relative growth of Muslims in Assam during 2001-11 has been extraordinarily high. The share of Muslims in the population of the State has risen by 3.3 percentage points in this decade. This is the highest accretion in the Muslim share for any State; the average accretion for India has been only 0.8 percentage points. This is also the highest accretion in the share of Muslims witnessed in Assam in any decade since Independence. Muslims now form a large majority in seven districts of the Brahmaputra valley, Dhubri, Goalpara, Bongaigaon, Barpeta, Darrang, Nagaon and Morigaon; and, in two of the three districts of Barak valley, Hailakandi and Karimganj. In eight sub-districts of the former region, Muslim presence is above 90 percent and in another 6 it is between 80 and 90 percent. This level of dominance of a community in an area indicates not only that their relative growth is higher, but also that others are being excluded from there.
